The article is well worth a read. The part where his friend talks about Urban Meyer is very interesting. Herbie spews the company line too much for my liking, but as a coach, you gotta think the guy could recruit. The article did a good job of humanizing him

I actually liked the article despite all I've said and throwing his jersey out last year.

No matter how sh*tty the tour is, it's always tough to leave.

He works for Mickey Mouse, in order to do that you must sell your soul to Satin.

I wish I didn't know now what I didn't know then.

At least he didn't sell his soul to polyester!  Now *that* is an evil fabric!  ;-)

Wouldn't be all that surprised to see Herbie follow Urban wherever he ends up. Per official documents, Herbie never sold his house in UA. It's being held by an LLC established by his lawyers (perhaps so he can rent it out in the interim) and he doesn't own the house he's living in just outside Nashville. That house is owned by a prominent Nashville businessman.

I liked this profile a lot.  Some of his behavior kind of makes sense now.  Glad he admits that he doesn't take personal criticism well.  He would probably make a pretty good coach and great recruiter.

Herbie doesn't bother me one bit..but I'm weird like that.

I used to defend him quite a bit, then everything with the back and forth with Pryor and some of his other comments/actions last season rubbed me the wrong way.  After reading this though, some of the stuff makes a lot more sense.   I'm a pretty even keeled guy myself but I have a feeling if I read stuff about myself on line or people on Twitter were giving me hell I'd probably shoot back with something snarky and immature myself.  I'm kind of the same way, I don't want people to think i'm a jerk or call me an idiot just becuase they don't agree with me or I wear an orange tie that day lol.

I also can understand his packing up and moving from Columbus.  I'm a serial worrier as well, and if I saw the same car driving slowly past my house 5 times in one day, or if people were constantly knocking on my door, and the local paper published my address with a Google Street View of my house, I'd probably 1 grow tired of it, and 2) be concerned for my wife and kids when I wasn't around.  There was a lot more to the story than we got when he moved.  Basically, 1 or 2 sentences of what he had to say were released, not all the other info.  I never knew the Dispatch put his address in the paper with a picture of the house.

He idolized Harbaugh? That figures! What tOSU player has a man-crush on a tsun player? Of course he never beat them either. A QB coach who sucked as a player? No thanks.

BT, I've been writing bad stuff about you online for a while now. It's not having any effect?? Maybe I need to ramp it up a little.  :-)

LOL NC, we just disagree, but at the end of the day we both want what we think is best for the team! You, Irricoir, Fido, don't always agree with what I have to say, but if we ran into eachother at an 11W tailgate, We'd probably solve all the team's problems in the parking lot with the aid of a few beers lol.

I have grown to dislike the Dispatch. I did like Ken Gordon a lil bit.

What ever happened to Irricoir? Fell off the map. Maybe his biceps got too big for the avatar size limit here.

Business and training keep me busy fellas. I read every day but have A) been so busy at the job that I have had no time to gather my thoughts, due in part to having to remove 200-300 printed Team Logos of whomever beat us last week off of my chair, desk, doors and walls and B) I care so much about our team that I have been sick at my soul due to their performance. I'd likely say some things out of anger and frustration toward undeserving bloggers and I just want to avoid all of that. It is not just a game to me, OSU is a representation of home. It's a place where ethics, honesty and excellence through dedication and hard work was being demonstrated by students, coaches and leaders. This all has changed, at least from the stand point of the most visible representitives of my school and state. Now, living in the south, I not only have to deal with 0 and whatever again, I must deal with the fact we're appearing even more corrupt than the sec in the wake of these scandals by our top 3 teams in the big10. It never stops around here and the breaking point is fast approaching. I shall remain loyal to a T but my pride is taking a beating.

I don't always take names when I kick ass but when I do, they most often belong to a Wolverine.

BTW Flip, you don't have a virus and your computer is not outdated. It just takes time for your internet to upload all of my mass content. Changed my avatar so that I cause you no more issues. It is nice to be remembered for something though, lol. Yall, take care. I need sleep.
